what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

Erika Krause’s Save Me, Stranger is now available in paperpack. I got mine a few days ago and I’m wrapping it up as we speak. This is a collection of 12 short stories that really pack a punch, each in their own way. Depth far beyond their brevity. Nearly every one of the stories had been published previously in various literary journals and magazines like the Iowa Review, Alaska Quarterly Review, the Kenyon Review, Crazy Horse and Glamour. 

Krause is a Grinnell College graduate. Coincidence? No nada nunca nicht. Correlation is not causation but there’s a connection. All roads lead to Grinnell. And not just on RAGBRAI. Try wearing a Grinnell College hoodie one day and see how it affects your elevator conversations. 

I’m sure you recall our book club from a few years ago when we discussed Krause’s Tell Me Everything, an award winning memoir and literary true crime story. The subject matter and release of the book timed well with the arrival of Coach Prime at Colorado. Perspective on major college football is just one piece of that puzzle. I recommend that book to you.

I recommend this book to you too. The Seattle Public Library has 8 copies in circulation. You could also buy your very own copy to have and to hold HERE
